Community Engagement

The engagement and involvement of our surrounding communities is a cornerstone in the redevelopment of Fort McPherson. The success of the redevelopment depends on community input and support. We welcome and encourage all members of the community to get involved through the Livable Centers Initiative and the Community Engagement Subcommittee.

2015 Oakland City/Lakewood Livable Centers Initiative

The Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) is a program that awards grants on a competitive basis to local governments and nonprofit organizations to prepare and implement plans for enhancing existing centers consistent with regional development policies. The LCI also provides transportation infrastructure funding for projects identified in the LCI plans.

The Oakland City/Fort McPherson Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study update and master plan is the result of extensive community outreach, market research, and other information gathering activities conducted by planners and consultants. It is currently under review by city agencies, on its path to approval by the Atlanta City Council.

Community Engagement Subcommittee

Communities Within One Mile of Fort McPherson

Fort Mac LRA is part of a network made up of its 17 neighboring communities in Atlanta an
d East Point. Input from these communities is very important to us. Representatives from each of these communities and neighborhoods serve on the Community Engagement Subcommittee (CES), which brings the concerns and interests of the community to the redevelopment process. As the direct link between the community and Fort Mac LRA, CES has identified four areas of focus:

Safety, Security & Well-Being

Economic Development & Entrepreneurship

Real Estate and Community Need

Communications & Future Dialogue
